Charlie would play wing like Nick Reiwoldt ddidand drift down for a few goals and have the play come through him on the wing as a marking target.
A fit Charlie could play most spots IMO, think we just need to look after him and not turn him into the next Andrew Walker who didnt know where he was playing from week to week. I'm still unsure if three talls down forward works better than two talls....Harry and McGovern have worked ok in tandem IMO and maybe depending on the opposition we need to change things up and not be so rigid playing three talls forward all the time even though it looks more menacing on paper
I think the three of them have different strengths.
H marks strongly above his head when the ball is out in front or above his head. He has strong hangs and coupled with this height will be a defenders nightmare.
Gov seems to be more at home closer to goal. Whether it be sitting on their heads or out bodying one or two opponents. He then kicks straight from any angle. Can swing to defence and help there also.
Charlie's best position is around the 50m arc whether gathering the ball off the ground, on the lead or standing on their heads, then wielding around and having a ping.
If they play to those strengths and can keep out of each others way, they will trouble many defences.
